Description

Over the course of one year, Thomas Gardner records his runs.

Fifty-two entries, none exceeding a paragraph. Each run is simultaneously captured in its precise moment and opened up to something timeless and limitless. Radiant acts of attention illuminate every page: we are in the runner's shoes, seeing the play of light and shade on the path ahead of us.

Yet we are in the runner's mind, too: with spiritual improvisations that turn from the twinges of Gardner's body to meditations on grief personal and national, and to the works of such poets as Emily Dickinson, Walt Whitman and Elizabeth Bishop. As the seasons and miles pass, Gardner moves through inner and outer landscapes.

Freed by disciplined physical effort, the runner's mind roams and mourns and remembers.

Luminous with beauty, Poverty Creek Journal is a singular and remarkable work, a miniature marvel of nature writing, philosophy and poetry.
